Are De Blasio's policies threatening New Yorkers' safety?


The same question always arises after the occurrence of terrorist attacks on our soil. Are those in charge stupid or complicit in the destruction of America?
The previous administration refused to call the Islamists out for what they were; thus diluting any real action against them. So far, the present occupant of the Oval Office appears to be taking the situation very seriously. He has taken the first step, throwing Political Correctness out of the window and clearly naming the enemy.
Below are excerpts from three articles discussing De Blasio's negligence and/or stupidity/collusion by ignoring the threat regarding this specific individual and the Mosque he attended.

Imam: I Warned De Blasio About NYC Terror; He Was Too Busy Bashing Trump
Posted by Paul Joseph Watson
Imam Mohammad Tawhidi says he repeatedly warned New York Mayor Bill De Blasio about the terror threat in New York City but that he was ignored because De Blasio was more interested in undermining President Trump.
An Islamic terrorist pledging allegiance to ISIS killed eight people and injured at least eleven others yesterday, mowing them down in a pick-up truck on a bike track alongside West Street in Lower Manhattan.
Iranian-born Imam Mohammad Tawhidi revealed on Twitter that he had given De Blasio specific intelligence about the terror threat in the city but was rebuffed every time he reached out.
“About #NYC terrorist attack, I personally sent letters to Mayor De Blasio online & in person about terrorist breeding in NYC.He did nothing,” tweeted Tawhidi, adding, “In 2016, I told Mayor De Blasio that I was in NYC and noticed some hot radical centres. I was willing to point out serious cases. Ignored!”  entire post

Mosque where NYC jihad mass murderer worshipped was part of NYPD surveillance effort dismantled by de Blasio at behest of Islamic groups  
Posted by Pamela Geller
Disclosure of the program’s existence triggered two federal lawsuits. The NYPD agreed to greater oversight of its intelligence-gathering operations this year in an attempt to settle one of the suits. Who is in charge of oversight? Terror-tied CAIR? The department discontinued the surveillance program in 2014.

The New York Police Department is shuttering a controversial, once-secret unit devoted to surveillance of local Muslim communities.
“Our administration has promised the people of New York a police force that keeps our city safe, but that is also respectful and fair,” New York City Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement. “This reform is a critical step forward in easing tensions between the police and the communities they serve, so that our cops and our citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys.”
As a candidate, de Blasio had said that “we need to do a full review of all surveillance efforts, and anything that is not based on specific leads should not continue.” 
For years, my organization has urged the monitoring of mosques tied to jihad terror.
  • AFDI calls for immediate investigation into foreign mosque funding in the West and for new legislation making foreign funding of mosques in non-Muslim nations illegal.
  • AFDI calls for surveillance of mosques and regular inspections of mosques in the U.S. and other non-Muslim nations to look for pro-violence materials. Any mosque advocating jihad or any aspects of Sharia that conflict with Constitutional freedoms and protections should be closed.
New York Mayor de Blasio was instrumental in dismantling counter terror initiatives in this city.

NY Deputy Police Commissioner: “This isn’t about Islam, this isn’t about the mosque he attends”
By Pamela Geller - on November 2, 2017
This is exactly what this is about. Sayfullo (translation: sword of Allah) Saipov’s mosque was under investigation until Mayor de Blasio dismantled counter terrorism programs in order to appease his Muslim constituency.  If his mosque had remained under surveillance, then the attack might have been stopped. It might have been discovered that he was plotting jihad. But New Yorkers had to die in order to prove what? That the jihadists have succeeded in imposing sharia restrictions on our response to jihad terror?
Last night, I was on Hannity’s show on FOX, and one of this other guests was NYPD counterterrorism detective Bill McGroarty, who was part of the investigation of the mosque behind the New York Islamic truck attack. He said there were over 20 Muslims at that mosque who were “radicalized” and had a deep hatred of America. Watch.


Sayfullo Saipov screamed “Allahu akbar” as he murdered people. Why did he do that? Does John Miller understand what the significance of that cry in the context of a jihad attack is? How can he be so sure that this is not about Islam, when Saipov himself associated his act with Islam?
And how does Miller know that this isn’t about the mosque he attends? How does he know the mosque didn’t exhort Saipov to commit an act of violent jihad for Allah? Is that a possibility that is just too politically damaging for the de Blasio administration to contemplate?
Miller warns against “Islamophobic” hate crimes. Very well. When has he ever warned people in the same stern tones not to commit jihad mass murder? Or would such a warning be “Islamophobic”? entire post
